Met Éireann forecasts that temperatures in Ireland could reach around 26C early next week. Multiple outlets report that a rise in temperatures begins on Monday, with conditions remaining generally mild to warm rather than extreme. The forecast indicates that temperatures are likely to stay in the low 20s for much of the period, with the potential peak of about 26C occurring early in the week. One report also notes that the coming highs are not expected to match record-breaking temperatures recorded in May. The reports present the forecast as part of a broader warming trend, with daily highs expected to fluctuate between the low 20s and the anticipated upper-20s point. Overall, the coverage agrees that the next-week outlook includes warmer conditions, driven by improving temperatures, but it frames the expected maximum as below the highest levels seen during earlier unusually hot weather in May.
